XXII.—NO. 222. lift OTIS EXPOSED BRITISH NAVAL COMMANDER SAYS HE IS IGNORANT OF WHAT IS NECESSARY B9SPITAI CORPS IS 1 FARCE FIELD TRANSPORT SERVICE DE- CLARED TO BE WRETCHEDLY BAD AND INSUFFICIENT SHOULD BE CALLED HOME "Pitiful to See Sacrifice of the Splen- did Men of the American Ariuy," Saj h the British Officer—Adds That the First Step the United States Should Take I* the Recall of Gen. Otis From Munilu. VICTORIA, B. C, Aug. 9.—Commander St. John, of the British cruiser Peacock, Who arrived here from Manila, by today's Empress, en route home, declares that Gen. Otis is utterly ignorant of the ne- cessities or responsibilities of a campaign In the- tropics. He has 5,000 dead to his account, the British officer declares, and his hesitation has aiready shown his forces that he hag no grasp on the situ- ation. "Gen. Otis' field transport service is declared to be wretchedly insufficient, his hospital corps a farce, and his plan of aign calculated to advance the enemy's interest as no other could. A Eeriouß breach is declared to exist be- tween the United States army and navy at the front, and Commander St. John Bays the first thing the United States government should do is to recall this man, adding- "It is really pitiful to see the sacrifice of the splendid men of his army." . Incidentally Commander St. John says that the press censorship is carried to the extronvj in Manila, to save Gen. Otia from being swept down in a flood of pop- ular indignation. SENATOR HIOVI HIIX.K SILENT. He Declines to Discuss the Philip- pine QneMtiom. VICTORIA, B.

Donelan and R. D. Wood, each of whom has made Manila his home for more than a quarter of a century. "You may say." Senator Beveridge re- plied to a question, "that I absolutely decline to express any opinion at the present time as to Gen. Otis, the future of the Philippines, or anything else." Dr. Donlan and Mr. Wood also re- fused to be interviewed. Beveridge, of Indiana, returned by the BURNING OK SATURNUS. InsurK<'»iM Secured Much Booty From the Sliiit. MANILA, Aug. 9.—The steamer Satur- nus, of the Cempania Maritima, coasting under the American flag, was discovered Aug. 2 by the United States gunboat Pam- patign. beached at San Fernando, under the insurgent trenches there. The steam- er was boarded by an armed boat's crew, and the passengers were taken off. The cargo, consisting of general merchandise, and $100,(KXi in specie, had been sacked. Several attempts to tow the Saturnus off were unsuccessful. The Pampanga then left San Fernando in search of further assistance, whereupon the Insurgents re- tuMitd and set fire to the vessel. The United States gunboat Yorktown arrived here yesterday after bombarding Ban Fernando. The Saturnus, she report- ed, was still smouldering, and the steamer was a total wreck. AFRAID OF HIS MEN. Possible Explanation of Actions of Capt. liar ton. DES MOIN.ES, Jo., Aug. 9.—The charges of cowardice which have been made against Capt. A. E. Burton, of company B : Fifty-fust lowa, promise sensational developments. Burton's company Is from Willisca, Io. t and he has been Its com- mander since It went into service. He has been very unpopular with the men, and recently reports came that he was Charged with the grossest cowardice; that he deserted the company in action, and was found by regimental officers ly- ing In a ditch, far in the rear, and that this kind of conduct was repeated several times. Advices from Manila today say that Burton was in fear of his life at the hands of his own company. The men had repeatedly threatened that Burton would not last through many brushes because "If the Philipinos did not get him, some- body else wo\ild." Burton was in terror lest some of his own men should shoot him. The matter will be fully investi- gated. OFFICIAL REPORT. Gen. Otis Tells of the Battle Near San Fernando. WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—Gen. Otis con- firms the report of a battle at San Fer- nando, in the following cablegram: "Manila, Aug. 9. —Adjutant General, Washington: MacArthur, with 4,000 men, attacked insurgent army, 6,000 strong, concentrated around San Fernando, 5:15 this morning. At 10 o'lock a. m. had driven It five miles in direction of Angeles. Cas- ualties few. Attack ordered for 7th inst.; rain did not permit movement. Railway from Angeles north badly washed by unprecedented floods of last six weeks, beyond ability of insurgents to repair. —"Otis.*! MANILAA LAKE. VANCOUVER, B. C, Aug. 9.— Manila advices received on the steamship Em- press of Japan say that typhoons and rains have turned the city, wet enough at the best of times, Into an immense pond, with gutters over a foot deep in water. Sampaloe district was com- pletely flooded, so that the people were forced into the upper stories of the houses. The police barracks were com- pletely surrounded, and soldiers stood guarded and carried on patrol duty In two feet of running water. Capital of Luzon Flooded by Ty- phoon and Rains. Hundreds of creeks that intersected the city overflowed their banks, and boats were seen on the streets. Admiral Watson had a narrow escape on the Pasig. His launch was about to pass under the Puenta Espana, when tiie roaring water caught it up and jammed it broadside into a stone pier, breaking the funnel and tearing off the gunwale. The dreaded berl beri, that In former years created such havoc among the Filipinos, has made Its appearance in Bilibid prison. Much grumbling Is heard in Manila because American silver is not received at the custom house, nor is American gold or bank notes. The existing cus- tom house regulations require that all customs shall be paid In Philippine cur- rency. This leaves no option for of- ficials, but as long as there is a change or fluctuation in the relative values of gold and silver any official who accepts in any unauthorized currency is liable to be called upon to pay the difference out of his own pocket. The postofflce, on the other hand, will not accept cur- rency which Is compulsory at the cus- tom house unless the stamp buyer is willing to be penalizel heavily. Manila papers say the situation thus caused is most ridiculous and intolerable, and regulations must be modified quickly. FACTS FROM TAILUTA. Secretary of Italian Embassy Re- WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—Marquis Ro- mano, secretary of the Italian embassy, arrived here today from Louisana, where he has been making a personal investiga- tion of the lynchings there, and reported at the embassy to Count Vlnchl, the Itali- an charge d'affaires. The two went over the marquis' trip, much personal observa- tion being given in addition to the facts stated in the formal report. Marquis Romano laid special stress upon the point that his information was not drawn from Italian sources, or friends of the dead men, who might be biased in their feeling, but that all his findings were the result of information from American citizens living near the scene of the lynchings. The Italian authorities regarded this as relieving the report from the charge that it is an exparte state- ment from prejudicial sources. turns Front 1/Onlnlann. As to the citizenship of the victims, the flndigs of Marquis Romano are that all five were Italians. But as to this the Italian authorities concede that in view of Gov. Foster's report that three of the men were naturalized Americans, the mat- ter Is open to doubt, and is yet to be established beyond all question. Acting Secretary of State Adee gave some time today to going over Marquis Romano's report, which Is In Italian, and was read by Mr. Adee before being turn- ed over to the translators. KIPLING'S WORK COARSE. Barred From nn Indiana Sunday CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Aug. 9.— The Sunday school of the First M. E. church of this place has boycotted the works of Rudyard Kipling. ' Some time ago the Sunday school purchased a num- ber of new books for its library from Methodist publishers at Cincinnati, and as tl:ese books came from what is regard- ed as the fountain head of pure literature, little attention was paid to several vol- umes that were thrown in for good meas- ure. Among these was Kipling's "Drums of the Fore and Aft," which finally came into the family of a man who declared that it was "fairly reeking with pro- fanity and the most outrageous slang." Fortifying himself with numerous ques- tion:-; he went before the Sunday school authorities, and as a result, the offending book was thrown out of the library, and the Sunday school was placed on record as vt ry decidedly against recommending Kipling for juvenile readers.

The destruction on land will prob- ably be considerable. ST. THOMAS, Isle of Dwight, Aug. 9.— Later advices from St. Kitts said that on Monday afternon a very severe hur- ricane, with a velocity of seventy-two miles, destroyed about 200 small houses in the towns, and did considerable dam- age to the estates.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—Meager de- tails of the West Indian cyclone began to reach the navy and war department* late this afternoon In the shape of the following messages: San Juan de Porto Rico, Aug. 9.—Adju- tant General, Washington: Terrible hur- ricane; cavalry barracks destroyed; storehouse and other buildings damaged; iron roofing and lumber required. San Juan de Porto Rico. Aug. 9.—Signal Officer, 'Washington: Cyclone just pass- ing over island; prostrated telegraph and telephone lines: several killed; my quar- ters wrecked and signal barracks par- tially demolished; many other public buildings likewise; hundreds of native houses destroyed; center and south prob- ably fared worse. —Glassford. The navy department late this after- noon received a cable from Capt. Snow, in command of the naval station at San Juan, announcing that the hurricane had destroyed about 12,000 worth of property at the station there. The storm was predicted by the bureau several days ago. It commenced on the 7th, apparently east of the island of Do- minica, and moved northwest to Porto Rico and Hayti. There is no immediate prospect, the weather officials say, of the storm coming near the mainland. No reports of the amount of the damage done has reached the office h^re.

Mexican Government Fully Posted AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 9.-A dispatch from Durango, Mex., says that Manuel Lopez Serena, instructor in the service of the Federal Telegraph company, has just reached that city from the Yaqul reser- vation. He says the government is in better shape to wage a successful cam- paign against the rebellious tribe now than in any of the previous wars. There is hardly a point in the turbulent terri- tory that is not in direct telegraphic communication with the war department, and every move that roving bands of Yaquls make is instantly known to the military authorities, and the movement of troops is directed accordingly. Con- tinuing Senor Serena says: "The war department Is Informed as to the position of every warring Indian band In the Yaqui valley, and troops now being: massed along the lower course of the river will strike at the vital point when the order is given. The present up- rising has been expected for over a year. The first information of the contemplated outbreak was given Gen. Torres by the old Yaqui chief Tobiate, several months ago, and immediately thereafter the work of massing troops in the state began, and there are now over 8,000 available men, armed and equipped and ready for the active campaign that is before them. The war will be over in a few months %: Senor Serena said the Indians had com- mitted many murders and destroyed a large amount of property belonging to peaceable Mexicans before they left the valley. They had one fight with a small force of Mexican troops, near the village of Onava. resulting in the defeat of the Yaquis, their loss in killed being nine One Mexican soldier was killed and three were wounded in the fight. ns to Their Movements. MRS. PEROT'S PLIGHT. Ambassador Chaste Declines to Withdraw Extradition Paper*. LONDON, Aug. 9.—Mr. W. H Perot and his counsel, Mr. Newton Crane were in consultation with the United States ambassador, Joseph H. Choate, this morning. Mr. Perot tells a representative of the Associated Press that counsel for Mrs. W. H. Perot, charged with abduct- ing her daughter Gladys from Baltimore, had proposed to him to consent to the withdrawal of the extradition proceed- ings, in which case the mother would hand over Gladys to Mr. Perot, and it was to discuss the possibility of such an arrangement that he visited Mr. Choate as the proposal is entirely satisfactory to Mr. Perot. But the ambassador said he had applied for Mrs. Perot's extradition, in accordance with orders from Washing- ton, and he had no power to withdraw the proceedsing without Instructions, as the extradition proceedings were instituted with the view of punishing Mrs. Perot for an illegal act. Mr. Perot added that the writ of habeas corpus granted to Mr. Crane yesterday had not been served, as Mrs. Perot is in hiding. She left her former residence when she heard the writ had been issued. It will be served at the latest tomorrow, when she appears on remand at the Bow street pt see court. BELLEVILLE CHURCH FIGHT. Under Bau of Excommunication. Six Hundred Member* Are Placed ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 9.—The decree of Bishop Janssen, of the Roman Catholic diocese of Belleville, 111., excommunicat- ing the members of St. Patrick's congre- gation of East St. Louis who are in re- bellion against his authority in the mat- ter of appointing a German-born priest to succeed an Irlsh^American rector, went into effect at noon today, when the communicants held a meeting in defiance of the prelate. On last Sunday the decree was read in every church in the Belle- ville diocese, and last night at a largely attended meeting the members of St. Patrick's decided not to submit to it. The meeting held today in open defiance of Bishop Janssen brought to a climax the trouble that has been brewing for several months, or ever since the ap- pointment of Father Cluz as rector, in op- position to the wishes of the congrega- tion, who are all Irish or Irish-Ameri- cans. About 600 persons fall under the ban. The Stars and Stripes and the Irish flag floated from a flagstaff In the yard of St. Patrick's church, where the meeting to- day was held. About the church was a strong detail of guards, armed with blackthorns. Inside the enclosure were several cases of stale eggs, which it is said" will be showered at the bishop or any of his friends who undertake to as- sume charge of the church property. Fastened to the front gate was an open cigar box on which was tacked a card bearing the words: "Excommunication money, to receive contributions to be used in maintaining the fight against Bishop Janssen. Neither Bishop Janssen nor any repre- sentative of his appeared at the church and, after waiting for some time, those assembled dispersed, with the exception of a small guard. The parishioners were told to meet again tonight, they will be given specific information touch- ing their future course. This informa- tion. It is declared, is that the leaders of the so-called "rebels" have all the time been in communication with Mgr. Marti- nelli, the papal ablegate at Washington. A member of the parish has been in Washington. Tuesday a telegram was received from him which read: "Hold fast. Disregard the excommunication." BETTINA GIRARD'S PLIGHT.

When Magistrate Cornell committed her to the island for three months it was the opinion of many that she would not live that long. Her face was bruised and her eyes were black from having fallen on the stones. Her clothing was eld, tat- tered and torn. Eettina Girard was committed for five months to St. Xavler's sa'nitariirm at Inn- wood In 189S.

BERLIN, Aug. 9.—The promotion of the German ambassador to France, Count von Munster Ledenberg, to princely rank is regarded as another step in the' direc- tion of a reapproachment w: h France, and as due to the ability he has displayed in improving the relations between the two governments during his ambassador- ship.

REVOLT HAS BEGUN OVERTHROW OF THE DOMINICAN GOVERNMENT ATTEMPTED BY FOLLOWERS OF JIYIJMO7. MOVEKT IS GiISISG GROUND PROVINCE OF VEGA IS IN ARMS AND SOLDIEiRS ARE FLOCK- ING TO REBELS GENERAL LOSES HIS TSOOPS They Leave Him Without Having Fired a Shot and Join the Ranks of the Revolutionists—Dominican . Troopa Being Hurried tot Monte Cristo — Haytlen Government to Prevent Landing of Jiuiiurz. PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, Aug. 9.—The latest news from Santo Domingo says the revolutionary movement is extending and that the province of Vegas is in arms. It Is impossible to obtain any details here. This city is calm. The relations between the United States and Haiti are cordial. The Hataian gov- ernment has authorized the erection of an American meteorological station at Cape Haitien. The permission to estab- lish such a station had previously been refused, and the fact that permission has now been granted demonstrates the ex- tension of American influence in Haiti. CAPE HAITIEN, Haiti, Aug. 9.-Gen. Francisco LJnariano, Bent from Monte Cristo by the Dominican government to attack Gen. Ramon Pacheco, at Dajabon, the headquarters of the revolutionists, was abandoned, when he arrived in front of the enemy by his troops, who, without firing a shot, deserted and entered the camp of Gen. Pacheco. The advanced posts of the latter are at Lias Aguas, and the revolutionists are masters of the fords across the river Yaque, thus cut- ting off communication between Monte Cristo and the interior. The forces of Don Juan Isidro Jiminez, leader of the revolution, are being 1 augmented every day, and the news from all parts of tho Dominican republic is favorable to him. NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-A dispatch from Port an Prince, Haiti, says: "Word comes from Monte Cristo that Dominican troops have been hurried there. The Haitien government Is prepared to pre- vent Jiminez from landing on Haytien territory. All is quiet in Port au Prince. Suspects are being interrogated by the authorities." PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 9.-Three offi- cers, representing the insurgents of San Domingo, and two civilians, representing those who do not like the manner in which President Sam manages affairs in Haiti, have been here three days, en- deavoring to find vessels to carry muni- tions of war recently purchased in New Haven. To avoid suspicion all the mem- bers of the party crossed the Windward passage In small boats and embarked on a steamship at Guananamo, landing last week in New York. Those from San Domingo were delayed by the capsizing of a boat. They claim that there is little danger in landing contraband war ma- terial anywhere on the coast of either country, except near the principal ports, as the coasts are not patrolled because of the lack of war vessels to do the work. What they claim are needed are small steam tugs to take out their purchases and to land cargoes placed on the eastern shores of Cuba some months ago. The tugs have been selected and the only thing that prevents their sale is a dif- ference as to the price, which it is thought will soon be settled. .JIMINEZ IS CONFIDENT. Expresses Belief That San Domingo Is Practically Hi.*. HAVANA, Au~. P.—Gen. Juan Isidro Jiminez, the aspirant to the presidency of San Domingo, said today, in the course of an interview, that funds arc being daily llaced to his .-rertit in Paris, and that lie had refused ov?r S.OOO offers of service on the part of Cubans and Ameri- cans who were ready to pay their ex- penses. In reply to these offers he had asserted that he had neither need nor de- sire to organize expeditions. Today, he paid, he had received advices that two more Dominican generals had declared themselves in his favor, with following of 800 men. Dominican government paper, Gen. Jim- inez says, is unsaleable. M«n of all col- or? in Santo Domingo are joining his cause, but most of his generals are col- ored, the proportion of black to white being two to one. When questioned regarding: a dispatch from Cnpe Haytien, published by the Discussion, representing that the Haytian government is unfavorable to his preten- sions, and is prepared to prevent him from landing on Haytian territory. Gen. Jiminez replied that the Haytian govern- ment was In a "very rotten condition." The revenue of the Dominican republic, under a good government, should be, he estimates, not less than $2,r>00,300, nn amount more than anough to meet ihe governmental expenses and '.he interest on the public debt. When he attains the presidency he hopes to go ahead promptly with public work?, and to carry on ether necessary improvements, but he insists that "the first necessity or' Pnnto Do- mingo is honost men in her administra- tion. As to the possibility that the existing government may prevent his entering the country, he ridicules it. as to quote his word?. "Santo Domingo Is practically mine. PARTING OF THE WAYS.

HILL. Hearing of Alleged Elevator Coin- bine Ciiko Began, CHICAGO, Aug. 9.—The subcommittee of the national industrial commission ap- pointed to investigate agricultural condi- tions met here today and took up the in- vestigation of the alleged elevator trust. The charges of an elevator combine have been brought by farmers in the Northwest, who allege that a combina- tion exists between the elevator interests and the railroads for the control of the visible supply of grain and for its handling in general. It is alleged that the railroads make better rates to the ele- vator people than to the receivers, thus enabling them to make better prices on grain. Today's session of the subcommittee, which was called to order by Chairman Andrew L. Harris, of Ohio, was held be- hind closed doors, at the request of John Hill Jr., of the Chicago board of trade, who was called for the first witness. Mr. Hill gave the committee a general outline of the situation, reading copies of agreements, contracts, etc., tending to show that the farmer was treated unfair- ly in the disposition of his grain. He also gave the opinions of board of trade men on the subject. This afternoon an open session was held and several other witnesses examined. Among the witnesses who are expected to appear before the committee during Its session in Chicago are S. H. Greely; W. H. Burke, editor of the Farmers' Voice; W. R. Hostetter, of Springfield, 111., sec- retary of the Farmers' institute; Col. W. H. Fulkerson, president of the stae board of agriculture. The committee will give a hearing to the elevator interests dur- ing its sessions in St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth. The committee expects to hear either here or in St. Paul the views of Presi- dent J. J. Hill, of the Great Northern road, and John C. Hanley, president of the National Farmers' Alliance and In- dustrial union, on the strengthening of the merchant marine. It is understood that plans will be discussed looking to- wards a subsidizing of the merchant marine and of establishing a trade in cereals between the Northwest and the Orient. m PRESIDENTS aUIET DAY. Took a Sail on the Lake ami Re- ceived ('uller.ii. PLATTSBURG, Aug. 9.—President Mc- Kinley had nothing to add today to the statement made to the Associated Press correspondent, last night, by Secretary of War Root, in regard to the campaign In the Philippines.

Family of Three Dead by a Woman's Hand. CANTON, 0., Aug. 9.—A terrible triple tragedy occurred three miles east of this city last night, resulting in the death of Edward Eckinger, his wife and their 3-year-old daughter. Neighbors today discovered the dead bodies of the three lying upon the bed in the Eckinger home. Mrs. Eckinger evidently shot her husband and daughter with a shotgun and then tried to commit suicide by gashing the veins in her wrist with a knife. The lat- ter apparently proved too slow, or else too painful, for the woman put a third charge In the gun and sent it through her heart. Eckinger was 25 years old and a farm laborer. Lately he has been drinking quite heavily and frequent quarrels took place between him and his wife. The couple had agreed to separate, com- mencing today. Race Problem DiHCuased by Hon. Pope Brown. QUITMAN, Ga., Aug. 9—At the meet- ing of the Georgia State Agricultural' Society here today, the race problem cr<me prominently to the front as a topic of discussion. Hon.

VIENNA, Aug. 9.-The Allegemeine Zel- tung publishes a statement to the effect that his holiness, the pope, is again In a precarious condition. His latest illness is due to the great heat and the weakened condition of his physique. The pope has had several fainting fits, and hla Physician, Dr. Lapponi, has been hastily summoned to his bedside. What causes unusual anxiety Is the knowledge that the pope was greatly weakened by the operation rendered necessary by hle condition a short time since. LONDON, Aug. 10.-The dispatches irom Kome to the morning papers do not confirm the alarmist statement of the Al- legerneine Zeltung regarding the health of the pope. On the contrary they as- sert that his holiness is busy preparing an encyclical on the peace conference, which will urge the necessity of the holy see maintaining complete temporal lib- erty In order that it may promote tha work of peace and arbitration. PABLIAMENT PROROGUED. I Qaeen in Her Speech Touches Upon TruiiHvanl Troubles. LONDON, Aug. 9.-Parliament was prorogued at 2 o'clock this afternoon by royal commission. The house of lords met and summoned the members of the commons to the bar, and the proceedings terminated with the reading of the queen's speech. The speech contained the following statements: "The conference summoned by the Em- peror of Russia for considering measures for the maintenance of peace has com- pleted its sittings. Although the results of the deliberations did not fully corre- spond with the lofty aims which it was summoned to accomplish, It has met with a. considerable measure of success. The institution of a permanent tribunal of arbitration cannot fail to diminish the frequency of war, while the extension of the Geneva convention will mitigate Its Horrors. \u2666 v, Af a" f reference to the conclusion of the Anglo-French convention on the sub- ject of the Nile valley, and the Anglo- . Russian convention in regard to railroad | enterprises in China, the speech con- eluded: "We have received a petition from a | considerable number of my subjects re- | siding in the South African republic Praying my assistance to obtain a re- mova. of grievances and disabilities of which they complain. The position of my subjects in the South African republic Is inconsistent with the promise of equal treatment whereon my grant of internal j independence to that republic was found- I ed, and the unrest caused thereby is a constant source of danger to the peace j a"d, ProsPerity of my dominions in South Africa. Negotiations on this subject with the government of the South African republic have been entered into and are still pending." FRENCH I ISHKHMAV KILLED. British Gnnboat Fired tpoa a , Poach. • ng; VeMsel. FOLKSTONE, Eng., Aug. 9.-The Brit- ish torpedo gunboat Leda this morning found a French fiishing boat, the Etoille de Mer, belonging to Boulogne-Sur-Mer, fishing within the three-mile limit. The fishermen attempted to escape, and did not stop when a blank shot was fired. The Leda then fired a shot which the disabled the Etoille de Mer and killed her helms- man. The fishing boat was afterwards towed to this port with the body of her helmsman on deck. The arrival of the Etoille de Mer caused much excitement, where is is hoped the regrettable incident will draw attention to the serious inroads made by foreign fishermen In British waters. The admiralty authorities express ex- treme surprise at the fact that the fish- ing boat disregarded the Leda's signal to heave to, and in the absence of the official report, they assume that the com- mander of the Leda onlyresorted to dras- tic measures when other means were in- effectual. The captain of the Etoille de Mer has been arrested. The coroner's inquest upon the body of the helmsman resulted in a verdict of ac- cidental death, the jury exonerating tha officers of the Leda.

It is reported that a movement is on foot among the burghers to send petitions urging the volksraad to make further con- cessions. The Liverpool regiment sailed for Natal today. "While the transport was leaving the bay the crew of the United States cruiser Chicago, Rear Admiral Howisons flagship, loudly cheered the troops, who replied vigorously for several minutes.

The mishap will postpone the grand ball and fetes arranged in honor of his coming of age on May 13.

of cowardice which have been madeagainst Capt. A. E. Burton, of companyB: Fifty-fust lowa, promise sensationaldevelopments. Burton's company Is fromWillisca, Io.t and he has been Its com-mander since It went into service.

VANCOUVER, B. C, Aug. 9.—Manilaadvices received on the steamship Em-press of Japan say that typhoons andrains have turned the city, wet enoughat the best of times, Into an immensepond, with gutters over a foot deep inwater. Sampaloe district was com-pletely flooded, so that the people wereforced into the upper stories of thehouses. The police barracks were com-pletely surrounded, and soldiers stoodguarded and carried on patrol duty

Capital of Luzon Flooded by Ty-phoon and Rains.

Hundreds of creeks that intersected thecity overflowed their banks, and boatswere seen on the streets.

Admiral Watson had a narrow escapeon the Pasig. His launch was aboutto pass under the Puenta Espana, whentiie roaring water caught it up and

jammed it broadside into a stone pier,breaking the funnel and tearing off thegunwale.

The dreaded berl beri, that In formeryears created such havoc among theFilipinos, has made Its appearance inBilibid prison.

Much grumbling Is heard in Manilabecause American silver is not receivedat the custom house, nor is Americangold or bank notes. The existing cus-tom house regulations require that allcustoms shall be paid In Philippine cur-rency. This leaves no option for of-ficials, but as long as there is a changeor fluctuation in the relative values ofgold and silver any official who acceptsin any unauthorized currency is liableto be called upon to pay the differenceout of his own pocket. The postofflce,on the other hand, will not accept cur-rency which Is compulsory at the cus-tom house unless the stamp buyer iswillingto be penalizel heavily. Manilapapers say the situation thus causedis most ridiculous and intolerable, andregulations must be modified quickly.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—Marquis Ro-mano, secretary of the Italian embassy,arrived here today from Louisana, wherehe has been making a personal investiga-tion of the lynchings there, and reportedat the embassy to Count Vlnchl, the Itali-an charge d'affaires. The two went overthe marquis' trip, much personal observa-tion being given in addition to the factsstated in the formal report.

Marquis Romano laid special stress uponthe point that his information was notdrawn from Italian sources, or friendsof the dead men, who might be biased intheir feeling, but that all his findingswere the result of information fromAmerican citizens living near the sceneof the lynchings. The Italian authoritiesregarded this as relieving the report fromthe charge that it is an exparte state-ment from prejudicial sources.

As to the citizenship of the victims, theflndigs of Marquis Romano are that allfive were Italians. But as to this theItalian authorities concede that in viewof Gov. Foster's report that three of themen were naturalized Americans, the mat-ter Is open to doubt, and is yet to beestablished beyond all question.

Acting Secretary of State Adee gavesome time today to going over MarquisRomano's report, which Is In Italian, andwas read by Mr. Adee before being turn-ed over to the translators.

Some timeago the Sunday school purchased a num-ber of new books for its library fromMethodist publishers at Cincinnati, andas tl:ese books came from what is regard-ed as the fountain head of pure literature,little attention was paid to several vol-umes that were thrown in for good meas-ure. Among these was Kipling's "Drumsof the Fore and Aft," which finally cameinto the family of a man who declaredthat it was "fairly reeking with pro-fanity and the most outrageous slang."Fortifying himself with numerous ques-tion:-; he went before the Sunday schoolauthorities, and as a result, the offendingbook was thrown out of the library, andthe Sunday school was placed on recordas vt ry decidedly against recommendingKipling for juvenile readers.

Prevent Landing of Jiuiiurz.

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, Aug. 9.—Thelatest news from Santo Domingo says therevolutionary movement is extending andthat the province of Vegas is in arms. ItIs impossible to obtain any details here.This city is calm.

The relations between the United Statesand Haiti are cordial. The Hataian gov-ernment has authorized the erection ofan American meteorological station atCape Haitien. The permission to estab-lish such a station had previously beenrefused, and the fact that permission hasnow been granted demonstrates the ex-tension of American influence in Haiti.

CAPE HAITIEN, Haiti, Aug. 9.-Gen.Francisco LJnariano, Bent from MonteCristo by the Dominican government toattack Gen. Ramon Pacheco, at Dajabon,the headquarters of the revolutionists,was abandoned, when he arrived in frontof the enemy by his troops, who, withoutfiring a shot, deserted and entered thecamp of Gen. Pacheco. The advancedposts of the latter are at Lias Aguas, andthe revolutionists are masters of thefords across the river Yaque, thus cut-ting off communication between MonteCristo and the interior. The forces ofDon Juan Isidro Jiminez, leader of therevolution, are being1 augmented everyday, and the news from all parts of thoDominican republic is favorable to him.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-A dispatch fromPort an Prince, Haiti, says: "Wordcomes from Monte Cristo that Dominicantroops have been hurried there. TheHaitien government Is prepared to pre-vent Jiminez from landing on Haytienterritory. All is quiet in Port au Prince.Suspects are being interrogated by theauthorities."

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 9.-Three offi-cers, representing the insurgents of SanDomingo, and two civilians, representingthose who do not like the manner inwhich President Sam manages affairs inHaiti, have been here three days, en-deavoring to find vessels to carry muni-tions of war recently purchased in NewHaven. To avoid suspicion all the mem-bers of the party crossed the Windwardpassage In small boats and embarkedon a steamship at Guananamo, landinglast week in New York. Those from SanDomingo were delayed by the capsizingof a boat. They claim that there is littledanger in landing contraband war ma-terial anywhere on the coast of eithercountry, except near the principal ports,as the coasts are not patrolled becauseof the lack of war vessels to do the work.What they claim are needed are smallsteam tugs to take out their purchasesand to land cargoes placed on the easternshores of Cuba some months ago. Thetugs have been selected and the onlything that prevents their sale is a dif-ference as to the price, which it isthought will soon be settled.

.JIMINEZ IS CONFIDENT.

Expresses Belief That San DomingoIs Practically Hi.*.

HAVANA, Au~. P.—Gen. Juan IsidroJiminez, the aspirant to the presidencyof San Domingo, said today, in the courseof an interview, that funds arc beingdaily llaced to his .-rertit in Paris, andthat lie had refused ov?r S.OOO offers ofservice on the part of Cubans and Ameri-cans who were ready to pay their ex-penses. In reply to these offers he hadasserted that he had neither need nor de-sire to organize expeditions. Today, hepaid, he had received advices that twomore Dominican generals had declaredthemselves in his favor, with followingof 800 men.

Dominican government paper, Gen. Jim-inez says, is unsaleable. M«n of all col-or? in Santo Domingo are joining hiscause, but most of his generals are col-ored, the proportion of black to whitebeing two to one.

When questioned regarding: a dispatchfrom Cnpe Haytien, published by theDiscussion, representing that the Haytiangovernment is unfavorable to his preten-sions, and is prepared to prevent himfrom landing on Haytian territory. Gen.Jiminez replied that the Haytian govern-ment was In a "very rotten condition."

The revenue of the Dominican republic,under a good government, should be, heestimates, not less than $2,r>00,300, nnamount more than anough to meet ihegovernmental expenses and '.he intereston the public debt. When he attains thepresidency he hopes to go ahead promptlywith public work?, and to carry on ethernecessary improvements, but he insiststhat "the first necessity or' Pnnto Do-mingo is honost men in her administra-tion.

As to the possibility that the existinggovernment may prevent his entering thecountry, he ridicules it. as to quote hisword?. "Santo Domingo Is practicallymine.

VIENNA, Aug. 9.-The Allegemeine Zel-tung publishes a statement to the effectthat his holiness, the pope, is again In aprecarious condition. His latest illness isdue to the great heat and the weakenedcondition of his physique. The pope hashad several fainting fits, and hlaPhysician, Dr. Lapponi, has been hastilysummoned to his bedside.

What causes unusual anxiety Is theknowledge that the pope was greatlyweakened by the operation renderednecessary by hle condition a short timesince.

LONDON, Aug. 10.-The dispatchesirom Kome to the morning papers do notconfirm the alarmist statement of the Al-legerneine Zeltung regarding the healthof the pope.

LONDON, Aug. 9.-Parliament wasprorogued at 2 o'clock this afternoon byroyal commission. The house of lordsmet and summoned the members of thecommons to the bar, and the proceedingsterminated with the reading of thequeen's speech. The speech contained thefollowing statements:

"The conference summoned by the Em-peror of Russia for considering measuresfor the maintenance of peace has com-pleted its sittings. Although the resultsof the deliberations did not fully corre-spond with the lofty aims which it wassummoned to accomplish, It has met witha. considerable measure of success. Theinstitution of a permanent tribunal ofarbitration cannot fail to diminish thefrequency of war, while the extension ofthe Geneva convention will mitigate ItsHorrors.

FRENCH I ISHKHMAV KILLED.

British Gnnboat Fired tpoa a, Poach.

• ng; VeMsel.FOLKSTONE, Eng., Aug. 9.-The Brit-ish torpedo gunboat Leda this morningfound a French fiishing boat, the Etoillede Mer, belonging to Boulogne-Sur-Mer,

fishing within the three-mile limit. Thefishermen attempted to escape, and didnot stop when a blank shot was fired. TheLeda then fired a shot which the disabledthe Etoille de Mer and killed her helms-man. The fishing boat was afterwardstowed to this port with the body of herhelmsman on deck.

The arrival of the Etoille de Mer causedmuch excitement, where is is hoped theregrettable incident will draw attentionto the serious inroads made by foreignfishermen In British waters.

The admiralty authorities express ex-treme surprise at the fact that the fish-ing boat disregarded the Leda's signalto heave to, and in the absence of theofficial report, they assume that the com-mander of the Leda onlyresorted to dras-tic measures when other means were in-effectual. The captain of the Etoille deMer has been arrested.

The coroner's inquest upon the body ofthe helmsman resulted in a verdict of ac-cidental death, the jury exonerating thaofficers of the Leda.
